Walking to class today, Martin Luther King Junior Day, I saw this sign on Sixth Avenue, saying, simply,
“I’m Sorry.
— White People”.
It doesn’t make sense to me except to judge people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character. Maybe there’s some context where it makes sense and doesn’t abandon what King called for.
Can anyone make more sense of it?
